As a republican who is willing to vote for a democrat, I say Amy Klobuchar. Kamala turns people off in a similar way that Hillary Clinton did. We need a ticket of people who are above name calling and belittling people.

You know what? No, you and every other decent American is voting blue this time, no matter who it is. Be it Warren, Harris, Klobuachar, Buttigieg, Whitmer, or someone else, you don’t get to tell us how to run our party after you ran yours into the ground.

+1. Is also love to hear from PP why s/he thinks Harris turns people off. I hate when people say things like “something about her...” but can’t be specific. What names did she actually use when name calling? Calling someone out in bad prior behavior is not name calling.

My former republican mom adores Harris. She was her #1 pick for president. But unlike OP, my mom also doesn't think she has the right to dictate what are party does simply because her party f'ed up.

I really hate that so many strong, smart women (Clinton, Harris, Warren) are subject to the 'something about them just turns people of' line.

I don't trust them. How's that for an answer? I trust klobuchar even though she's not charismatic. I think she's solid and she can reach those on both sides.

Clinton is a liar, as is Warren. Ok - warren "bends" the truth. Kamala flip flops and is a hypocrite. She now SUPPORTS Biden whom she called a racist? No thanks - since when is hypocrisy a winning trait?

I agree with you.

Klobuchar: Yes.

Warren or Harris: no way.

All three of these senators ran for president with detailed plans on lots of issues. Can you all tell us which issue swayed you to Klobuchar over the other two?

It's not about specific issues, but about general temperament.

Klobuchar comes across as pragmatic, sensible, calm, inclusive, honest.

I wouldn't use any of those adjectives to characterize Warren or Harris.

This what swayed me -- Warren and Harris are as divisive as Trump. I would vote for Trump but it would take someone who is not so divisive to move me over.

Abrams today, tomorrow, and forever.

Abrams would be amazing. Sadly, I'm not sure it helps with the electoral map.

Yes, and at least some executive and/or legislative experience is a prerequisite with a candidate of Biden's age. That plus demographics means most likely Klobuchar or Harris, with Whitmer and Demings as dark houses.

This is how Abrams helps with the electoral map: Joe woos the suburbs in MI, PA, and WI and Abrams turns out the votes in cities and college campuses. This is a base election and Biden's veep needs to fire up the base. Not confident that Harris is that person. And Klobuchar is redundant here as Joe is reaching the same folks.

How is Abrams' experience different than Demings?

Abrams was a state legislator and Demings is a congresswoman. And also a police chief in a major city.

I agree that Abrams is one of the best choices to gin up young voter support. But Biden is too old and she is too inexperienced on a national level to be VP.

Meh.

Biden needs a running mate who can appeal to younger voters. Klobuchar’s base is the 65+ crowd. That doesn’t help him.

Couldn’t even win a gubernatorial race, but sure...whatever...

Yeah. This is the way you pick a running mate. Loyalty based on identity politics.

I'm a 52 yo male and she was my top pick.

Either Whitmer or Abrams would be the best choice. Klobuchar is a snooze-fest. Warren is too old and ideologically different. Harris is too unpopular with AAs and California doesn’t help with the electoral math.

Hello neophyte. Welcome to politics.

Klobuchar is my senator and she kind of makes my skin crawl.
